You don't sound like you are attacking anyone and you make some good points. I just happen to agree with Tigger, this deal may have cost millions. Why not use that money to develop a product? Pay off old debt to restore credibility in their tiny market? People have reasons to be cynical IMHO.
Amiga Inc have not had a real product for sale ever in their existence. Not the current group and not under Gateway2000 before them. You have to go back to pre Commodore bankruptcy to see a real product, well over a decade ago. Do they have a real product under development now? Not that anyone can see. The closest thing to a real product is OS4, and ownership of that appears to be stuck in legal quicksand with the appearance of Amiga inc being content to bury it.
The website? Meh, looks cheesy to my untrained eye but i probably wouldn't have said anything if you had not brought it up.
So are some overly critical? That depends on an individual point of view. Speaking for myself, I don't think so. I haven't seen a single move by AI that have made sense in many years. I was a long time blind blond cheerleader and now looking back I wonder my sanity in believing the tripe being fed to us. I think the time is probably now long past for the Amiga to make a comeback. Why am I here? Partially morbid curiosity, partially a small fading interest in retro Amiga computing and the fact I have made friends over the years here.
Maybe that makes me a grumpy old fart, but I really don't care
